Ideas for Resident Evil 7

[yurieu]

Resident Evil zero is better than Resident evil remake. Remake dont even have a machine gun. Zero has more enemies. gorgeous visuals. RE zero is so good it makes a connection between RE1 and 2. and lets not forget the hi def CGs. i believe the next gen graphics will be the same as the one we can see in the "Billy in the jungle" CG.

Ok, that's something else now. Must be the influence of bad weather or something.

Children, play nice. And try to stay on topic.

Capcom tried the please all fans approach and unfortunately the game suffered from that.

Leon's scenario from what I have seen is liked the most, Chris's deemed a badly made action game and Jake's got quite a mixure.

My opinion about RE7? they will do another RE4 and re invent, let's just hope that re inventing is something new, fresh and amazing just like RE4 was when released to the world.

Wesker comes back, reveals that the one that died in Africa was an unstable clone he made after capturing Jill, that the uroborous and kijuju incident was merely to get heat off him and allow him to work (gathering all of the viruses to control the world from the shadows) in peace. He and jake meet, Star Wars rip off occurs, jake instead joins his father in belief that he can change the world in a good way with his resources, Wesker is shown to be morally grey, saves his son from the antagonist of the game, and they both slink into the shadows together.

wouldn't create topics about beheadings.

Wrong user completely.

And yes Drake, you beat me too it.

Okay fellas, I've had a revelation, so please humour me for a few minutes:

I realise that RE7 is probably already deep into development by now, but my idea could apply to a new or side-project RE game for PS4/XBONE/PC.

Split the game into two video layers!
Layer 1: Native polygon rendering at 1920x1080p 60fps (upscaled to 3840x2160)
- This layer will house all interactive and dynamic objects in the foreground and background (players, enemies, animated elements, etc).
Layer 2: Losslessly compressed 24-bit static backgrounds with native 3840x2160 resolution.
- This layer will house the beautiful pre-rendered backgrounds.

Yes, it was said that these consoles could not render games in 4K, but rather only display images and video in that format. This is why all polygon rendering would be executed in 1080p and upscaled to match the 4K resolution of the static images underneath. This would allow the GPU to focus on rendering highly detailed character and object models, whilst the abundant RAM would allow for breathtakingly beautiful backgrounds. As for controls, the user could choose between classic RE (tank) and classic MGS (intuitive) style, or whatever. This could even give Capcom a nice reasonably budgeted niche title that can boast "the only 4K game on the market in the 4K era".

The PS4 and XBOX ONE could do some awesome RE games if CAPCOM wanted them to. I still want a RE REmake and RE0 port to the PS4.

How about a not too distant future were biological warfare has become routine, starring an older chris redfield aka "Old Gorilla" ! His enormous muscle growth has caused his body to age quickly due to the Excessive use of steroids, the head of the BSAA clive o'brian approach him for one last mission, to assassinate his old renegade partner....jill valentine !

Leon's scenario from what I have seen is liked the most, Chris's deemed a badly made action game and Jake's got quite a mixure

Yeah, and I don't get why people think that. Jake's campaign contains the same amount of action than Chris' and people just thought that Chris+setpieces+military squad+action = call of duty = bad.

I like Leon's campaign but it also has a cheesy villain, a dull story and an awful amount of scripted events and QTE's.

For RE7, I'm beginning to think that a trio Claire/Jake/Chris could work very well. Claire is close to Chris and Sherry and these two characters are closely related to Jake aswell.
Plus, if they want to focus more on "horror" Claire is the most natural choice between the protagonists. Since she's not actively fighting bioterrorism she could appear as a "weak" character as opposed to Chris, Leon or Jill.
Of course, we all know that she'll end up being badass and doing back flips, but the context will be more believable than superhuman Leon saving the world.

I can already picture two campaigns : Claire's and Jake's with Chris as a supporting character in both stories. So, depending on the point of view, you will see Chris' actions differently and Chris' involvement will tie the two stories together kinda like Ada in RE6.

Jake's story should focus on him searching for information regarding Wesker's past, and this will lead him probably to Alex Wesker like some people suggested earlier.

Claire will be there by chance (terrasave mission or whatever). Her story should focus strictly speaking on survival.

And Chris will be present because the BSAA is looking for Jake, but later on Chris' priorities will change towards protecting Claire.

Jake's final boss should be Alex Wesker whereas Claire's will be a giant B.O.W or something along those lines. So, not necessarily a bad guy plotting to destroy the world, you know.

As much as I want Leon/Ada for RE7, I believe that Capcom will use them rather for RE8 and I can't imagine RE7 without Jake anyway.

Wesker comes back, reveals that the one that died in Africa was an unstable clone he made after capturing Jill, that the uroborous and kijuju incident was merely to get heat off him and allow him to work (gathering all of the viruses to control the world from the shadows) in peace. He and jake meet, Star Wars rip off occurs, jake instead joins his father in belief that he can change the world in a good way with his resources, Wesker is shown to be morally grey, saves his son from the antagonist of the game, and they both slink into the shadows together.

I have to be honest, this doesn't sound half bad.

Aside from the usual requests they should bring back synthesized music.. Synthesizers are naturally cold and inorganic, and the ambience has a subtle but lasting effect on the player throughout the game. RE2 wouldn't have been as powerful as it was had it used a modern RE's approach to music. The music should be as terrifying as the atmosphere they're trying to convey.

Adding a little dash of time-honoured MGS seasoning to this recipe I see... I approve!

[Grem]

Hell no. If Wesker comes back from the dead again, I'll burn all my RE collection.

It's just a matter of time.
